This month, we’re providing all LastPass users a round-up to showcase newly released features available now, along with a sneak peek of what’s to come. Let’s dive in!

The new Admin Console is now the default admin console for all new customers as we migrate existing features and pages from the legacy console and build new and enhanced features, like the Adoption Dashboard – the homepage of your Admin Console. You can learn more about the new Admin Console here. Starting today, admins will have access to the following features in the new Admin Console: Enabled additional helpdesk Admin access Enable certain users to act as an admin for specific requests, like resetting master passwords and managing users and groups, all while disallowing access to the rest of the console and reducing burden on your IT admin. Admins can also enable access to the new Admin Console for existing helpdesk admins from the legacy admin console where they were previously disabled. Customized experience with granular controls on the Users Table Customize the users page by choosing which columns to show, answer specific questions with strategic filtering on multiple columns at a time, and take bulk actions across all users and filters. MFA Admin experience There is a new multi-factor authentication section in the Admin Console that streamlines visibility and deployment of MFA policies. On this multi-factor tab, admins can set which authentication method they would like to require on the LastPass vault as well as set advanced MFA policies – all in one easy flow that maximizes visibility.If you use LastPass to secure your personal credentials
